just purchased an i7 3770k and need a motherboard. how is the BIOSTAR TZ77B? reliability issues? I wont be running SLI/crossfire or overclocking the system.

It also comes with 8gb of Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 memory - anyone know if this memory is any good?

The whole deal is $102 CDN which seems like a decent deal.
Several other combos I am looking at:

111.99$ BIOSTAR TZ77A LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
119.99$ BIOSTAR TZ77MXE LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
134.99$ ASRock Z77 Professional-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
139.99$ FS ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
136.99$ - 10$ MIR MSI Z77A-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
139.99$ MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

All above come with Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb memory included in price.

ALl those motherboards are fine since the free memory usually costs about 60-70 USD.The TZ77B is a good entry level motherboard.

TZ77B is annoying if you have two long video cards as the USB 3.0 header is in between. If you have just one video card, or two short ones, it should be ok.

So there are no issues with reliability and these biostar boards thenn? the guys on another forum tend to believe biostar is crap, but aren't saying if it is specific to this model
